Proactive Management – March 3, 2020

• COVID-19 Communications – Initiated high-priority COVID-19 Updates to all staff containing all relevant information and new directives to operationalize all Orders from the Government of Alberta and it’s associated public health agencies.
• Business Continuity Plan – Guided by the elements of the Excel Society Business Continuity Plan we initiated proactive measures and systems to prevent, and if required, to isolate and protect people who contracted COVID-19.
• Education & Prevention – Issued immediate new guidance, directives, fact sheets, and Q&As to all teams on hand washing, face touching, social distancing, heightened cleaning requirements, cough containment, working from home when possible, and how to self-isolate if infected or if returning from travel.
